Andy Timmons - The Loner

[snowboardinpassout]

What a great rendition of a fine piece; Andy's touches sprinkled here and there over what is already a rather damn fine cheesecake. Nothing wrong IMO of one player improvising another's original piece. Both can be awesome yet different simultaneously.

[princepspersiae]

simply amazing



[yodaladyhox2]

love this stuff !!!

[troounholygrim]

so smooth, exellent Andy ..

[DEEPERBLU98]

@troounholygrim Yeah, he's pretty damned good. He pays excellent trtibute to Moore (likely one of his favorites) but stil maintains his own voice. How @ those fast syncopated runs at hte end? GW

[Tbraves111]

He's not EVH,Malmsteen,lynch,vai or satch but, he is up there w/them and yes, I do know satch was his teacher.

[JBFXTS2K]

@Tbraves111 I think you need to think again. My buddy had a Guitar player magazine article on Satch and Vai and at some point they said Timmons is better than they are ! Then there was a guy named Shawn Lane that blew everybody away at a guitar player event !

[Tbraves111]

@JBFXTS2K It's just my Opinion.

[stoofbuis]

@JBFXTS2K there are so many superb players,but Lane and Holdsworth are indeed one step ahead

[aysat]

sorry didnt like it.

[pipsqueek14]

@aysat thats your opninion. i dont agree with it, but im not going to make an(d)y trouble

[ArtKun95]

I think it's a way better than the original album version.

[SethCampbell66]

@ArtKun95 Yes, it's better than Gary's studio version. But listen to "Gary Moore - The Loner - Live at Hammersmith Odeon". Andy can't hold a candle to Gary, neither in emotional playing nor in tone. Andy would admit to it as well.

[ArtKun95]

@SethCampbell66 Yes, this perfomance is incredible. Of course, Andy'll never play it like Gary. Every of song of a composer is just a part of his and only soul.

By the way, have you heard Andy's Cry for You? One of my favorite songs ever...

[GagaMan214]

@SethCampbell66 Yeah the live Gary Moore version from 87' will never be touched by anyone else. That and Empty Rooms from the same concert in Sweden are two cuts that actually give me gooseflesh to listen to. I rarely have that happen to me from listening to someones guitar work.

[shred5]

@GagaMan214, let's not forget his cover of The Messiah Will Come Again.. his tone in that OMG

[SethCampbell66]

@GagaMan214 In the late 80's Steve Vai listened to Gary Moore's "The Loner" and said: "Ok, i need something like that." In 1990 he came up with "For The Love Of God" (from the "Passion And Warfare" album). Later he named Moore as one of his favourite guitar soloists.

[HBarbouche]

in his grave garry should be proud !!

[talistarmusic]

Very Good job Andy !!

[albertdaniel1000]

great jam...

[yurivarbanov]

Godlike!

[666theoath]

Andy smokes. awsome take.

[profilercms]

Dave "Clem" Clempson was the original guitarist on Cozy Powell's Over the Top album . Moore re-made this song years later.

[jtone20]

Damn, this is so good!

[sungsupaek]

I love Gary, but I think Andy really improved upon a masterpiece that I thought had already reached perfection.

[ftwfckyea]

@sungsupaek negative. Gary's tone and technique can not be duplicated nor can u improve a song that is already perfect. andy is ok

[michel33045]

andy moore or gary timmons?

[govan91]

min 1.46 : He is Andy Timmons

min 0.00-5.37 : he is awesome

[albertdaniel1000]

it's all good....

[qaqa404]

seviyorum bu adamı a.q

[tonypsn8]

gary moore

[15viceandvirtues]

Andy covering Gary? Shoot me im dreaming. That was amazing.

[ArtKun95]

I like it even more than original, may be because of tone.

[gotha]

good cover, but I like the original one way better though

[BluesyBraun]

really good cover

[RockingWithRod]

andy timmons is a god on guitar. but that aint gary moore,

[andyracksthecams]

[capitalotter]

Andy is butchering this beatiful song! Ouch!!!

[uv777gr]

Very good, but I prefer Gary's

[thedonace213]

Gary Moore's composition+Andy's carefully crafted tone, feel and touch = eargasm

[Gitarmorten]

@thedonace213 Actually, the song was originally written for Jeff Beck, but he didn´t want it :p... : )

[Kryptic1234]

The applause is painfully fake. This song was not performed live.

[darklight74]

Clearly deaf,not played the same and nowhere near garys sound,,i bet those two think they can do a better job hahaha,,knobs

[SuperMegaMantus]

2 people are deaf.

[szt1964]

wow. 

[bignicker12]

sucks...

[Dragonman16]

yeahh !!

[RefUser]

Gary Moore, we'll always remember you RIP

[gepetran]

if someone in this world can play Gary's songs...then its definitely Andy Timmons...cause he has the same amount of feelings as Gary...and this is what you really need...RIP Gary Moore...

[fredogodofred]

en donde puedo conceguir la cancion ??? :S

[33shin33]

you guys spoiled while I was watching that it is live... i couldn't believe :] i thought it was studio recorded

[malamutelocomotive]

He sounds like Jeff Beck et the end... Great performance!

[KHGuitarFreak1988]

@malamutelocomotive Andy Timmons is a massive fan of Jeff Beck indeed...

[meta1983]

I say this is better than original song. I know i am biased since i am a huge andy timmons's fan

[Shazlyyy]

Any download link for this? 

[lynchdemartini]

nice gary moore cover

[sportsportsport]

Mr. SOUL! 

[sike2805]

A.T. is brilian guitarist, awesome playin!!!! God on guitar!

[andreasbn]

One of many things that is so incredible about Andy is that you don't know if it's live or studio recording, that's the true meaning of a good guitarist! I was suprised by the crowd in the end, I thought it was a studio recording :)

[cobexonly]

On of my idol. Soul fullllll!!!!

[AerialBeda]

1:46 - 1:49 very cool riff - chapeau!

[lawtommy]

[sLevnZelevn]

If I didn't know any better, I would say this was the original.

[lawtommy]

haha~ agree!!!

[fendi85fendi]

Andy timmon is great,but only for his own song,the original from gary moore is way more better,u know why, because it is his song.he feel this song more than anybody,because gary moore is a lonely guy,ha! ha!

[deadkayu]

[SokSa]
